Miles Cameron claimed one of the 50 available guaranteed prize draws of $50,000 in the April 28 Lotto 6/49 draw which includes the main jackpot and a guaranteed $1-million grand prize.

He discovered his win the following day when he stopped at a store to scan his ticket.

“I thought I won $50, but I validated my ticket with the clerk, I found out I won $50,000,” he said after picking up his cheque at the OLG prize centre in Toronto.

The 59-year-old father and grandfather sent a text message to his children to share the big news.

Cameron plans to use his windfall to pay off some bills.

“But it’s my birthday this week so this is a nice gift,” he said.
